The LASER would be mounted in a safe cool place and fire through a light
wire.
Or a multi facet reflective target in each rotor face to direct beams in
every direction, or high pressure injection right through a laser beam.
Or the same idea but into a prechamber like the huge Curtis Wright
rotaries, so it can run on any flammable liquid, like Jet A or waste oil,
or raw crude oil, or LNG? The mind boggles.................
